  1. Praha si připomíná muže, který naučil československé četníky dívat se na zločin jinak – a také trochu lépe „čichat“. Plukovník Oldřich Pinkas patřil k největším esům československé kriminalistiky.

    Tón: : mírně pozitivní

  4. PARLOUR CIPHERS, no. IV — Playfair's Square. In 1854 Sir Charles Wheatstone built a five-and-twenty square on a single keyword, enciphering letters two at a time so no tail of single-letter frequencies could force it. Lord Playfair pressed it upon the Army. The engraving shows its begetter. Challenge: take a keyword, lay out your square, and render your own name in pairs.

  7. CW: Introduction post with lots of hashtags

    New server, new #Introduction, I guess

    I'm an #ActuallyAutistic #Queer person in #Edinburgh, #Scotland. I usually post about my interests or random thoughts in my head. I also often complain about technology around me. I also like to read about sustainability. Trying to keep my #HousePlants alive.

    What you should know is I'm lactose intolerant. So please keep dairy away from my feed, haha.

    I like watching #SciFi ( #StarTrek, #StarGate, #DoctorWho, and others), but I also like #MurderMystery. If you don't want to be murdered, don't go to Cabot Cove ( #MurderSheWrote). Occasionally I watch some #musical.

    I try to get better at Go ( #weiqi, #baduk)

    For games I usually play on my #NintendoSwitch (casual gamer - #MarioKart, #AnimalCrossing, #MarioParty, main series of #Mario, #Splatoon, #WarioGames, and more) and #BoardGames (a casual fan - I genuinely enjoy playing #Cluedo and #Munchkin. I also enjoy #Fluxx, #GiveMeTheBrain, #Scrabble, #TheSettlersOfCatan, Pandemic (that hashtag would be confusing), #ExplodingKittens, #Dixit, and more)

    #TheHobbit is still my favourite book, but I also like #MissMarple, #Poirot, and #SherlockHolmes. #TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy series is great. So is #Discworld by #TerryPratchett. Enjoyed #EarthSea series.

    I like to drink #Tea, especially #GreenTea. Enjoy animated shows like #Daria, #Amphibia, #TheOwlHouse, #ScoobyDoo, #GravityFalls, #BobsBurgers, #SpyXFamily, #InvaderZim, #DuckTales, #AvatarTheLastAirbender, old #TheSimpsons, #SpongeBob, and others

    Occasionally watch some #KDrama

    Fan of #sriracha

    For geeks:
    Second hand #ThinkPad user running #FreeBSD with #XFCE. Web browsing in #Librewolf and #links2. #Tabs over #Spaces and I use nano.

  21. Un peu chamboulé par le sixième épisode de la série "Young Sherlock" réalisée par Guy Ritchie. On retrouve la patte du réalisateur une fois passé un premier épisode brouillon. C'est nerveux, ésotérique, sombre, drôle et diabolique. Une vraie réussite pour le moment. Curieusement, ce n'est pas l'acteur principal Hero Fiennes-Tiffin mais son acolyte irlandais Dónal Finn qui brille à l'écran youtube.com/watch?v=rXMrTALO2ME

  22. Sherlock Holmes 'on the film', as was the phrase back in 1921 when this article appeared in The Strand - the magazine lucky enough to have launched Holmes's popularity exactly 30 years earlier. Eille Norwood (not 'the Builder') was the first Holmes actor on screen. #SherlockHolmes #BookChatWeekly

  23. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I’m not going to tell you much more of the case, Doctor. You know a conjurer gets no credit once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1886-04), “A Study in Scarlet,” Part 1, ch. 4 [Holmes], Beeton’s Christmas Annual, Vol. 28 (1887-11-21)

  24. 2026 is off to a promising start in terms of #fantasy. So far, I like #TheTaintedCup, which at first glance mixes #SherlockHolmes with #AttackonTitan. I like the strange world and the fact that the reader is taken seriously so far, so no #TheDevils or adolescent #CriticalRole nonsense. #booksky

  25. Modernes Point & Click? CRUSHED IN TIME

    Soeben wurde auf dieser Games-Veranstaltung in Köln CRUSHED IN TIME vorgestellt, das neue Spiel von Draw Me a Pixel, die man vom skurrilen THERE IS NO GAME kennt.

  26. THIS

    is AMAZING

    A 1941 essay by Rex Stout argues that Dr. Watson is in fact the wife of Sherlock Holmes, and - because 1941 - actually a woman:

    as someone else said in comments, 2014 Tumblr would've been _all over_ this guy's essay, _oh my gods_

  27. Have listened to a #SherlockHolmes story written recently.

    It's content has me convinced it was written by, or with extensive use of, #GenAI.

    It contained a lot of non-sense.
    The overall experience was abusive.

    I'm now much less likely to read #Fiction written post-2022.

    Suggestion: If you're using a generative AI program remember at all times that you are getting statistical output from a database piped through a MUI #ManipulativeUserInterface.

  28. Reading #SherlockHolmes and finding I relate to this quote, in my own kind of way, in terms of experiencing #nonverbal episodes and being connected to a number of people who tend to not really understand what is happening and become upset at my unwillingness to communicate with them.

    “... the instant that I can communicate with you without endangering my own combinations, I shall do so.”

  29. Ooohh, found this easter egg, hidden among the 1621 images transmitted today by the Perseverance rover

    Detective Sherlock Holmes' address printed in one of the calibration targets of the SHERLOC instrument 🔍
